Captain
Amarinder Singh deserves a special trophy from the Election Commission
as he has set an example by not throwing mud on the Opposition during
his campaign in Madhya Pradesh.

Instead of drawing
comparisons between Digvijay Singh and some other Chief Ministers of the
BJP-ruled states, he compared his own efficiency with Digi Raja. He
consoled the voters of Madhya Pradesh by declaring that the roads in
Punjab are not better than those in Madhya Pradesh. Probably he has done
only an ariel survey of the MP roads. He meant that the ariel view of
the roads in both Congress-ruled states is similar.

When someone is ill, we
generally boost his morale by saying, "Donít worry, I have also
been suffering from the same illness." Similarly, Captain Sahib
might have encouraged the MP voters by telling them, "Donít get
disheartened by the Rs 36,000 crore debt, we in Punjab have a debt to
the tune of Rs 40,000 crore." The statement was meant to console
someone passing through a financially rough patch.

Capt Amarinder Singh
also pointed out that the dropout rate in schools in Punjab is much
higher than in MP. He should have also consoled Digvijay by saying:
"You have even better advisers and statisticians than I have
!"

I believe Capt Sahib
has invented a novel way of canvassing. All the Chief Ministers of
Congress-ruled states should go to MP and paint a poor picture of their
respective states so that the voters in MP feel elated thinking MP is
far ahead of other states.

Next time when Digvijay or
other CMs of Congress-ruled states come to Punjab for campaigning, they
might have to pay back by showing their states in a poor light in
comparison to Punjab.
